"We love coming here," says Marjorie. "The shelling is remarkable — mere's no other place like it." She and her daughters, in one configuration or another, have been coming to the island of Sanibel for more than 25 years, making the journey southward from just out- side of Washington D.C. At the mention of shells, daughter Ellen turns back from her perch, where she is hovering just over the bow of the squared-off boat, and lowers the prolonged black scope of her cameia. She boasts proudly of the dozens of wentletraps she's found this time along the beach. "And the variety of birds," she adds, turning again and thrust- ing her telescoped eye back out into the bay. To the left of the women, a couple from Germany is carefully studying a refuge center brochure. "We do not have parks like this in Germany," says Bettina who, along with her husband has worn black for the occasion. "Everything is so much developed. Only in some areas, in France, in the Alps, there are places, but not so much in Germany." As the pontoon boat slides away from the shore, the passengers' words fall away from them, murmuring behind us into the wind and in their wake the amplified hum of the well-rehearsed guide begins to well up like the vibration from a second engine, spiJling out into the empty spaces of light and shadow that play under the fringes of the canopy roof. Our guide, Bob Mitchell, who has been conducting thjs paiticular pontoon boat tour now for only a tew short days, a moment's woith of time considering his nine years with Tarpon Bay, finds the trip across the water to be a nice change of pace. As he leans back against what seems to be a rustic center podium and cups the micro- phone into the palm of his hand, he already appears to have fallen contentedly into the comfoi table pace of a familiar routine. Everywhere across the open bay, the cobalt and crystalline water is ruffled by the slight but steady bieeze, and suddenly, finding ourselves adrift in this broad expanse of sea, it seems difficult to remember that this is the exact same refuge we once viewed through the chug-a-lug rhythm and dusty aura of the tram tour. It is a struggle ABOVE: Visitors aboard the pontoon boat at Tarpon Bay Recreation Cer to place our memory back within the narrow and intimate shelter of mangrove and and J.N.

We try to imagine how it got here, through Mitchell's description of the stilted fish- ing houses that once stalked the edges of this bay like great hulking birds, whose occupants cried out for ice, and flour and new waders and were ministered to from across the waters by the Punta Gorda Fishing Company, Shirley A hundred years or so ago the company began to dig a channel through the mouth Masuka of the bay, tells the guide, to help the boats pass through to bring supplies. As they watches dug, the shells and sand shifted and floated and deposited in great heaps and not long DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE a cor- morant after an oyster came, and then another as they so often do, and they began to cement on a themselves one on top of the other until a vast crustacean bed was formed.

Past the oyster beds we pass the bare heads of pelicans at roost in a tangle of man- groves on the tiny rookery islands, and we learn how color can define you, how you can read the age of the slack-jawed birds by their thin feathered skull caps of white or brown, how a slash of chestnut down the back of the neck can awaken another bird's desire. "A New Concept in Early Learning" We learn how a mangrove seed is like a bean, how the bean is like a boat, that can float on the water for a year, how the bean is like the marrowless backbone of a man- atee,the vast and hollow lung, the sinewy vessel that allows the great sea cow to rise ft MUSIC • ART • NATURE and dip effortlessly within the shallow waters of the bay.
